Financial Audit Results - Top 20

Published on Tuesday, 5 May 2026 at 11:58:47 AM

For the second year in a row the Shire of Lake Grace has appeared in the top 20 list of Regional
Councils. We are one of only seven shires who achieved this for the second consecutive time this
year. Entities are rated on their financial reporting practices against the following criteria:

  • timeliness of CEO-certified financial report
  • quality of financial report (including the number of errors identified)
  • quality of working papers that support the financial report
  • management resolution of accounting matters
  • key staff availability during the audit
  • number and significance of management letter findings
  • clear opinion with no EoM or other audit report modifications.

This result is a testament to the continued hard work of those staff involved.
